This topic describes the implementation steps to set up a custom version of the Talent Profile feature:

1. Create Copies of the Supplied Talent Profile Menus

   Using the Functional Administrator responsibility, create copies of the following supplied menus for Talent Profile.

   • Talent Profile Manager Access Menu (HR_TP_MGR_MENU)

   • Talent Profile Employee Access Menu (HR_TP_EMP_MENU)

   • Suitability Matching Spider Menu (HR_SUIT_MATCH_SPIDER_MENU)

   • Menu For All Seeded Report Template Functions (HR_TP_TEMPLATES_MENU)

   For more information on supplied menus, see: Oracle Succession Planning Predefined Components

   The predefined Succession Planning responsibility is linked to a menu that contains a number of functions. You can create menus based on the predefined menus and, if necessary, add or remove functions so that the menus accurately reflect your enterprise's business processes.

   You can base your configuration on the sample menus provided although you should not change the predefined menus directly. You must create your own menus using the predefined menus as examples. Otherwise, your changes may be lost during an upgrade.

2. Create a form function to set up the custom Talent Profile functionality.

   See: Setting up the Talent Profile Form Function

3. Set up the required Talent Profile regions for workers and managers. You can exclude the functions that you do not your workforce to use from the copied menus.

   See: Setting up the Talent Profile Regions

4. If required, configure the More links on the Talent Profile regions that enable managers and workers to navigate to the relevant Oracle HRMS talent product pages, such as Oracle SSHR, Oracle Performance Management, and Oracle Learning Management.

   Configuring the More Links in the Talent Profile Regions

5. Configure the Talent Profile custom actions.

   See: Configuring Manager and Personal Actions in Talent Profile

6. Configure the SSHR actions on the Talent Profile page.

   See: Configuring Manager and Personal Actions in Talent Profile

7. Configure the Suitability Analyzer and Performance Matrix (Potential) and Performance Matrix (Retention) functions.

   You can also determine the print and compare profile actions that you want managers to use.

   See: Configuring Talent Profile Functions, Suitability Analyzer, and Compare Profile Templates

8. Grant Menus or Add Menus to the Responsibility

   To enable managers and workers to use the Talent Profile features, in addition to assigning the Oracle Succession Planning responsibility, you must grant the custom Talent Profile menus to the Succession Planning responsibility assigned to the users. You can grant the custom menus using the Functional Administrator responsibility. Grants enable managers and workers to access the Talent Profile functions.

   For information on creating grants and using permission sets, see: Grants and Permissions Sets in Oracle E-Business Suite Security Guide

   You can also add the custom menus to the Succession Planning responsibility assigned to the users using the System Administrator responsibility

9. Display the custom Talent Profile for the predefined or the custom version of the Succession Planning Portal by defining the the 'pTPFunctionName' function parameter. The predefined Succession Planning function is PER_SP_PLAN_PORTAL function. If the parameter is defined, then the custom Talent Profile is available from the following pages:

   • Manage Plans tab (PerSuccPortalHomePG )> Plan Search region > Search by Successor and Search by Plan options > Talent Profile columns

   • Create Succession Plan (PerSPCreatePlanPG)

   • Update Succession Plan (PerSPCreatePlanPG)

   The following steps provide an example on how to define the 'pTPFunctionName' function parameter for the predefined Succession Planning function (PER_SP_PLAN_PORTAL).

   1. Create a custom Talent Profile function using the predefined Talent Profile function (HR_TALENTPROFILE_SS) as a sample.

   2. Navigate to the Functions page using the Functional Administrator responsibility.

   3. Search for the Succession Planning function (PER_SP_PLAN_PORTAL) function.

   4. Click the Update button corresponding to the Succession Planning Portal function.

   5. Add &pTPFunctionName=<function name> to the existing parameter list. If no parameters exist, remove the '&'from the parameter.

   6. Click the Apply button.

   7. Select the Caching Framework tab and then select Global Configuration.

   8. Click Clear All Cache in the Cache Policy region.

   9. Click Apply.

   If you want to use the predefined Talent Profile page, then remove the &pTPFunctionName parameter added to the Succession Planning Portal function.
